P-Town

Phoenix, that is. Downtown Phoenix. On Sunday morning before the crack of dawn I met up with a photography group who specialize in HDR photography. We met before dawn so we could take photos of a waking and soggy Phoenix at sunrise. It had been raining all week end which is the best time to take pictures if you ask me. I had so much fun, and being my first time doing HDR, I learned a lot.

{If you care, HDR means High Dynamic range, and is achieved by taking 3 pictures of the same composition with a tripod. One @ normal exposure, one @ 2 stops over exposed, and one @ 2 stops underexposed. Then you blend them together for a very dynamic picture! Some can get over the top, kind of like the church picture (2nd to last) but I tried not to get too crazy on the others.}

So, these are SO cool!! I never knew the process behind taking pictures like this. My absolute favorites are the VW Bus, Coke Can, and the wall with door. I wonder how these turn out using people?? Maybe we can use my kids as guinea pigs. :)
